Biology Experiment

ahhh! What's this?

We were divided into few groups for this biology experiment. This is a good opportunity for us to catch some insects. eheh...by the way, we are allowed to take some of our seniors' collection. I heard that there's a place at Batu Caves that sells insects collection. Eventually, we decided to enter our school garden and made some efforts in catching little insects. Butterfly, you are too beautiful to be captured. Okay, I have to do label printing. See you next time.
